A man who had been using his grandson's birth date to purchase lottery tickets for the past five years recently hit a 5-million-yuan ($732,064) jackpot in Dongguan, Guangdong province.

The man started buying lottery tickets after his grandson, 5, was born.

The man said he will keep 1 million yuan for himself and "donate the rest to charities".
